Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

And fast through the midnight dark and drear,
Through the whistling sleet and snow,
Like a sheeted read more

And fast through the midnight dark and drear,
Through the whistling sleet and snow,
Like a sheeted ghost, the vessel swept
Towards the reef of Norman's Woe.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better
than ten years' study of books.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant read more

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness:
So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,

The counterfeit and counterpart of Nature is reproduced in art.

Darkness of slumber and death, forever sinking and sinking.
